Application filed May 19, 1925. Serial No. 31,404.

To all whom it may concern:

citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas Irons, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to gas irons and more particularly to a novel and improved construction whereby the mixture of the gas,

.hea-tmg area 1s provided for the iron.

, and air may be regulated by the operator so as to produce economy in gas consumption as well as affording means for obtaln ng maximum heating power when the iron s being used. I v

One of the objects of my inyention is to,

provide a gas iron wherein the mixture of the gas and air to the interior of the iron is directed to the bottom of the heating surface so that the handle may be maintained at a temperature considerably below that of the iron proper including further provision whereby the incomplete products of combustion may be expelled from the front of the iron and away from the operator.

A further object of my invention is to provide a gas iron of the character above specified, which may be easily assembled;

and disassembled, consisting of comparatively few parts, all being simple in construction, highly eflicient in operation and use, practical, durable, capable of beingused in the various trades as well as for home use and one which is comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, whereby its commercial possibilities are greatly enhanced.

To enable others skilled in the art to fully comprehend the underlying features of my invention that they may embody the same in the various modifications in structure and relation contemplated, drawings depicting a preferred form have been annexed as a part of this disclosure and in such drawings, similar reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout all the views, of which,

Figure 1 is a perspective View.

Figure 2 is a view showing the parts when disassembled.

Figure 3 is an enlarged, vertical sectional view through the iron.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line et-t of Figure 3.

teferring now to the drawings, wherein p K v like, reference characters designate corre- I Be it known that I, HABRY-l/VEINTRAUB, a

sponding parts throughout the several views, and particularly to Figure 3, I haye shown a 1 conventional-design of an iron, consisting of The front wall 11 tapers inwardly and an opening 12 permits'of the escape of any unburned gas A flat plate 13, having the end wall 14L, preferably formed integral therewith is adapted to interfit with the end 8 of body portion of the iron and to be secured thereto by a'screw 15, entering a boss 16 with the bottom 9, there being provided additional bosses. 17 whereby the and wall 14: may bese'cured. It will be observed "that the plate 13 lies in spaced relation to the. rib 10 so that the flame may be confined to the bottom of the iron or to the heated The end wall 14 is formed with a threaded opening 181to receive the threaded end 1901 a pipe fitting 20, which is provided with apertures 21 for the passage of air to bev mixed with the gas being burned. The valve 22 and an air regulating plate 23 is provided for the fitting so that the proper mixture of gas and air to produce the combustion as existing'conditions may require.

Referring particularly to Figure 2, it will be observed that the top 6 is provided with projections2 l for the passage of fastening elements whereby the cover plate 25 may be attached and asbestos or insulating pad 26 being interposed between the top 6 and the said cover plate. At the front of the cover plate 25, an exhaust nozzle 27 is adapted to register with the opening 12 so that the incomplete products of combustion may pass into the atmosphere and at the front of the iron. A hollow handle 28, preferably of stamped metal, formed integral with a base 29 may be secured by suitable fastening elements to the cover plate 25 and between the said cover plate and the handle, a second pad of asbestos or insulating material 30 is interposed so that the handle may be maintained cool at all times.

From the above construction, it will be seen that as the air enters the interior of the iron, the heat is confined to the rib and in close proximity to the bottom heating surface. The handle is sufficiently removed and insulated from the heating area so that the iron may be used without the conventional iron holder and the opening at the front and the nozzle 27, registering there with, directs the incomplete products of combustion away from the operator and since the end wall is closed by the plate 13, the objection of escaping gases is overcome so that the operator does not experience the inconvenience as found in other gas irons.

While I have illustrated and described my invention with some degree of particularity, I realize that in practice various alterations therein may be made. I therefore reserve the right and privilege of changing the form of the details of construction or otherwise altering the arrangement of the correlated parts without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is 1. A gas iron of the class described comprising a flat hollow body open at one end, longitudinal ribs formed on the bottom and within said body, a plate extending within said body and in proximity to said ribs, an interfitting end Wall integral with the plate for closing the open end of the body, a pipe connecting attached to the end wall for admitting a mixture of gaseous fuel within said body, means at the opposite end of said body to permit the escape of the incomplete products of combustion and a handle for said body.

2. A gas iron of the class described comprising a hollow body open at one end, a heating surface on the bottom and within said body, a flat plate within said body in proximity to the heating surface, an interfitting end wall integral with said plate and means for attaching the wall to close the opening, a pipe connection attached to said end wall having means for regulating a mixture of air and gaseous fuel whereby the heat generated is introduced within the said body beneath the plate, a flat cover plate overlying the first mentioned plate and having an exhaust nozzle in communication with the interior of said body and a handle attached to the cover plate.

3. A gas iron of the class described comprising a hollow body open at one end, a ribbed heating surface on the bottom and interior of said body, a flat plate having an integral end wall formed therewith extending within said body in proximity to the ribbed surface and closing said open end, a pipe connection including means for regulating a mixture of air and gaseous fuel discharging within said body and beneath the plate, a cover plate having an exhaust nozzle at its front end in communication with the interior of said body whereby the incomplete products of combustion are dis charged, an insulating pad between the top of said body and cover plate, a hollow handle attached to the cover plate and an insulating pad between the said handle and cover plate.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
